One thing is certain: Andy and Dougy always are awake and waiting for me when I wake up in the morning. Rather, when I wake up in the morning, it is because they are there. They watch and wait for me.

I caught Dougy with a flash, but he had time to react before it went off. Namely, he ducked his head. I don’t know if the photo’s half-focused or my eyeballs are at that hour. It seems it was both for this shot.

Andy, however, blocked the bedroom door. I don’t know if the cat toy is to amuse himself with till I move or what, but I can count on it showing up where I step on the hard plastic handle in the dark every morning.

Yeah, and he helped himself to a used Puff from the trash, too. Yuck! At least he didn’t knock the trash over like he usually does.

I have to get up at some point. Usually both boys run ahead of me, hoping I’ll turn left (to feed them), though I usually turn right (because I’m an old guy and need to use the toilet and the bathroom’s to the right).

I know, Dougy, why don’t you run in front of me and make sure I almost don’t make it to the toilet in time? OK!? Good boy!

These “in the dark flash photos” do result in odd effects when the flash isn’t fully built up again! I like the blue tint on the ends of Dougy’s hair in the photo above! Maybe I’ll have his groomer tint his tips blue next time…. Or not.

Eventually, though, the boys got fed, then retired to the dark where a full flash revealed Andy cleaning up.

Dougy and Andy are taking naps now, so I need to be quiet. Shhh!
